A small, plant fiber basket curves into a squat silhouette, tapering toward a circular mouth. Coiled horizontal rows create a fine, ribbed texture across the light tan surface. Three dark brown, broad, rounded triangular motifs wrap around the exterior and repeat on the interior. The tight, uniform weave emphasizes the vessel's rounded form. A flat base supports the object as it sits against a neutral grey backdrop.
